Hello.

Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

I read carefully your query.

5 days are very early to notice any improvement in your symptoms.Vitamins and supplement need time to show their effect.The level of Vit D in your blood will increase gradually withe the intake of Vit D supplement and your symptoms will start to improve.
This may take few weeks up to few months.You need to be patient.

Hope it helps.
Please feel free to ask for every question you might have.

Kind regards,

Hello again.

Vitamin D deficiency can cause symptoms like bone pain,muscle weakness,fatigue ,loss of appetite, weight loss etc.

So your chest pain might be a symptoms of Vit D deficiency due to muscle and bone pain.Vit D deficiency can cause dry mouth and this can make swallowing difficult.
It would be good to discuss these symptoms with your treating doctor for proper evaluation.A detailed medical history and physical examination are necessary to exclude other causes for your symptoms.

Take care.
